Oh he seriously needs to shut up.
He spends his entire time now telling everybody how a product, he is insisting on building, is going to kill us all.
You would have thought that if you were building a doomsday bomb but didn’t want to die it’d be pretty easy to just stop building said bomb. But nope everyday he continues making it more and more destructive.
the problem is “he” isn’t’ the only one building AI. If openAI doesn’t do it, someone else will.
I’m not saying the guy is a paragon of virtue or anything, but a voice from within the industry should be valuable to get legislators on board to do something about it. Not that I have great faith in them either.
He was the first and he is the only one trying to make open ia for-profit ia. Even fucking Facebook can make their ia model open source. I think is move to legislator is just to put concurrent to disadvantage. The same way he cried when deepseek got out such funny enough won’t do nothing since he pushed for a law that literally said that ia can t be legally restrain for 20 year
Open AI started it though. They published the original research paper that made all of this possible.

I mean it’s a valid concern. He’s also nowhere near the first to voice it. I attended a presentation from a Microsoft exec who explained that Microsoft had already developed very powerful voice mimicking technology, well ahead of anything public at the time. It required only a few seconds of speech before it could fully replicate your voice. But their ethics board or whatever stopped them, due to the massive fraud risks. Nowadays I think they’ve adapted the tech to voice recognition used in Teams instead.
Of course, MS wasn’t the only one working on this and other people have since published these solutions, so the cat’s out of the bag now.
